Greetings,
I am using IPython 6.1.0 with Python 3.6.2 on a Windows 7 machine. I
am not a programmer. I am using a book called Python Data Analytics to
try to learn some of Python. I am at a section for reading and writing
JSON data. The example JSON file is:
Listing 5-13. books.json
[{"writer": "Mark Ross",
"nationality": "USA",
"books": [
{"title": "XML Cookbook", "price": 23.56},
{"title": "Python Fundamentals", "price": 50.70},
{"title": "The NumPy library", "price": 12.30}
]
},
{"writer": "Barbara Bracket",
"nationality": "UK",
"books": [
{"title": "Java Enterprise", "price": 28.60},
{"title": "HTML5", "price": 31.35},
{"title": "Python for Dummies", "price": 28.00}
]
}]
and the example code for reading the file is:
>>> file = open('books.json','r')
>>> text = file.read()
>>> text = json.loads(text)
Hmm... are you sure you want "text" on the left hand side. I'm not sure
whether this is okay or not. It looks suspicious (but, like I said, I'm
a Python newbie).
